The prize article on wheat growing in a
recent issue of Farm Journal was written
by John NJ, Stahl, of Quincy, Ills. AS it
contains much solid matter in small space,
every line of which is instructive, it Is
here reproduced for the benefit Of our
readers.
The best soil for wheat is magnetism
limestone, or limestone clay; but it can
be profltably grown on nearly every fertile,
drained soil. On soils lacking in silica
the straw lodges; lacking in lime, the
berry is not plump, Growing wheat on
undraincd land is foolishness. If not
drained naturally, drain the land artiflci-
ally. Earth does not expand in freezing;
water docs. IL the surface soil is filled
with water during the winter and spring
its freezing and thawing will heave out
the young plants; if the soil is drained the
heaying will he much less. Drained soil
retains the most moisture in midsummer
also.

Weevils in Grain.

Numerous remedies have been tested
and recommended for weevils in grain
bins. Once the weevils are in the grain
us certain remedy as any is probably
bisulphide of carbon introduced into the
bin, which is then covered to confne the
vapor. An objection urged by some
against the use of bisulphide of carbon is
that the vapor arising from it is very eX
plosive, and therefore careful handling is
required Aniseseed is one of the old
remedies. This is placed near an infested
bin and is said to attract the weevils, and
these can then be destroyed. Millers re
sort sometimes to kiln drying to destroy
the weevils.
In this as in many other cases the best
remedy is a preventive. When possible
avoid storing grain in bins that have been
infested. When it is not practicable to
change the place of storage fumigGte the
granary with burning sulphur. Fumiga-
ton should not only be done before the
grain is placed in the bins, but repeated
in the course of month or two after it
has been stored. An abundance of light,
with thorough cleanliness in the mill, will
be found beneficial. Millers advise white
washing the grain bins inside and out, and
washing the floors occasionally with hot
water. Expose the wheat to the light by
frequently stirring it or pouring from one
bin into another; this will also prevent its
becoming heated. The weevil is adverse
to light and air, hence the advice to fire.
quently expose it to the light, with ample
ventilation.

AS the chinch bug has wrought much
damage TO the grain crops in most of the
western states and in portions of Mary
land and Virginia, attention is called TO
some of the more popular remedies or pre-
ventives; also to the natural agencies
which assist in the destruction of this
pest.
Numbered with artificial remedies
which have proven most effective are the
following:
The plan of sowing grain so early in
the spring as to get i'll advance of their
deprcdations.
The attempt to save part of the crops
by preventing the migration of the bugs
from one field to another.
The method of destroying the insects Ivy
burning cornstalks and other rubbish in
which the chinch bugs are supposed to
hibernate.
The prevention of the bugs breeding tc
any serious extent by abstaining from the
cultivation of those grains upon which
they chiefly subsst.
While this little pest is not pursued by
such relentless foes as those that wage
war on the army worm and plant lice,
still it has its enemies. Professor Riley
names among the insects that prey upon
chlnch bugs, ana which, therefore, should
be protected when found, the spotted
lady bird trim lady bird, lace VIM;
fly, :nsidious flower bug and many
banded robber. The banded bug is
mentioned by Professor Thomas rs
being one Of the most efficient aids among
the insect enemies. The insidious flower
bug, which is often found prcying on the
leaf inhabiting form of the grape phylloX-
FRA, is frequently mistaken for the chinch
bug. The flower bug is quite commonly
found in connection with the chinch bug,
and Professor Riley believes that it preys
upon it.
The common quail OF the middle and
western states, otherwise known as the
partridge Of the northern states is con-
sidered one of the most efficient natural
1estroyers of the chinch bug known.

Attend the Fairs.

Farmers and their families ought to
attend, when possible, both their state
and county fairs. These exhibitions are
many of them excellent educators in all
branches of agriculture. The prime OBJ
ject is to benefit the farming classes by
grouping together once every year the
choicest products of farm, garden, orchard.
dairy and breeding pens, the latest I'M
provements in mechanical contrivances,
ETC., that every man and woman who is
present may know just what progress is
being made by others and the possibilities
that await all who desire to attain to i'm
proved methods and their paying results.
To make these fairs generally attractive
there should be from each farm in the
surrounding country an exhibition of the
choice products of the season, whether
from the garden, field, dairy or house
wifc's pantry and work room. Even if
no prize is taken the effect will he good
one on both the farmer and his family. A
spirit of rivalry will be created that will
stimulate alike young and old to renewed
efforts toward the attainment of better
things during the year to come. To
| farmers who anticipate purchasing new
| implements, or entering on new branches
of farming, visit to some of the fairs
will be especially beneficial from an eco
nomcal point of view There is nothing
like seeing for ones self; it is much safer
than taking things on trust
